RORATE CÆLI: Socci: “A Buzz in the Vatican: A Conclave is in the Air”

In the Vatican, there is an ever greater mention of a new Conclave. Pope Francis would in fact have expressed his intention to leave. This December, among other things, he will turn 85, which is the same age as that of Benedict XVI at the time of his resignation. But the reason for Bergoglio’s resignation would not primarily be his age, but the state of health that came under the spotlight in a sudden and unexpected way with his surgery, last July 4, at the Gemelli Hospital. In reality, it seems it was not a planned intervention (it is said that even the Secretary of State, Card. Parolin, was not aware the hospitalization). Furthermore, it seems that the Gemelli doctors would have liked to keep the pope in the hospital longer.
